Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh won the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby, the first time a catcher has taken home the title

In the final between Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, the latter slugger hit what appeared to be his sixth homer of the timed portion — until someone with a glove jumped and hauled the ball in. It was unclear in the moment if the ball would have been a homer, but it clearly had potential.

Oneil Cruz, Junior Caminero, Byron Buxton and Cal Raleigh advanced to the semifinals of the Home Run Derby on Monday night. Cruz and Caminero hit 21 home runs in the opening round, with Cruz receiving the top seed based on the longest home run tiebreaker.
